Chess players are no back numbers. The computer has found the way into the lives of the players:

The chessboard is connected with a computer or one can even follow the matches online or watch it on Olympiad TV. However, after the games the players are still connected to computers and the Internet. In the World of Chess theyhad the opportunity to use the Internet. The love to the Internet was that big, that there was a queue of waiting people outside the office.

The most watched pages were the tournament pages, facebook, E-mail accounts. When the tournament pages were watched there were a cluster of players around the PC, tells a volunteer who works in there. She knows some regular guests, who come here every day. The team from Mongolia were there together and liked it very much. They stayed in contact with their families and friends, called them via skype, wrote via facebook or just watched photos. One team that it is very into the Internet is the South African team, which even has a blog, to keep the visitors updated about the achievements.
